Tracking Tilly (Red Truck Mysteries, 1) by Janice Thompson

 

Breathe in the nostalgia of everything old red truck in book one of a new cozy mystery series.
 
The Hadley family ranch is struggling, so RaeLyn, her parents, and brothers decide to turn the old barn into an antique store. The only thing missing to go with the marketing of the store is Grandpa’s old red truck, Tilly, that was sold several years ago. Now coming back up on the auction block, Tilly would need a lot of work, but RaeLyn is sure it will be worth it—if only she can beat out other bidders and find out who stole Tilly after the auction ends. Hadley finds herself in the role of amateur sleuth, and the outcome could make or break the new family venture.

My Review

  This is a mystery, with lots of twists and turns. Just when we think we have all the facts, the author gives us something else to chew on and then well, yes, that makes sense and we are off in another direction.

A 1952 truck, not much to look at now, but the bidding seems to show something else. Raelyn is wanting it, it was her Grandfathers, lots of happy memories. All is well, a bit more money than expected, but then the truck is missing. Thus we are off on a mystery that reveals a lot of facts that Raelyn never knew.

This is a story that shows a lot of love and compassion, and made me want to be a member of the Hadley family!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.
